Note: We strongly recommend taking this guided tour.

If you do not wish to see the tour, uncheck the box labeled “Show this Tutorial again.”

     3. On the left is the main work area, which includes Document trays (In Fortis: Baskets) and              Searches (In Fortis: Queries).

Here, you will search for documents based on criteria that you enter.

If you have the correct permissions, you can also Import, Scan, and Store (In Fortis: Index) documents in databases from your Document trays.

     4. On the right is the document viewer.

Here, you will view documents that appear in your Document Trays and/or Searches.

You can add annotations to documents, but depending on your permissions you may not be able to save your changes or make more substantial edits to index entries.
